What Dave Portnoy finds most ‘shocking' about the Bill Belichick-Jordon Hudson situation

New York Post02-05-2025

Dave Portnoy called Bill Belichick's current situation 'shocking' and said he feels the whole thing is like 'living in a bizarro world.'
Speaking on SiriusXM's 'The Megyn Kelly Show, the Barstool Sports founder described his surprise at how things have played out after Belichick's awkward interview on 'CBS Sunday Morning,' which was highlighted by his 24-year-old girlfriend Jordon Hudson interrupting a question about the beginnings of their relationship.
Since the interview aired over the weekend, Hudson's presence has come into question, and it has put the future Hall of Fame coach in the spotlight off of the field.
'It's just it's such a juxtaposition of a guy who seemingly had no media savvy, but was always just straightforward, no time for the media, now having his life run by a [24-year-old]. It certainly is eye-opening for a guy like me,' Portnoy said during the appearance.

Hudson has pushed back on the criticism she's received in the wake of the interview, posting a blistering email that Belichick sent out on April 10 about the first round of media regarding his new book, 'The Art of Winning.'
Belichick put out a statement Wednesday through the University of North Carolina, where he took over as the head football coach in December.

The statement alleged that CBS News used 'selective editing' to push a 'false narrative' about Hudson and defended her over interruptions during the interview.
Portnoy, however, claimed he wasn't entirely convinced that the statement was free of Hudson's influence.
'In my years following Bill Belichick, I would say my knowledge of him, there's roughly 0 percent chance he wrote that. But he just doesn't care generally what anyone thinks about him. So to go write that, that, my guess would be Jordon wrote that,' the Barstool Sports founder said on the radio show.
He added later: 'It's just so strange in this long email, crazy. The public statement. Crazy. But I'm not even sure he knows that was written. He may not. He may not. I really don't know.'
During his interview with Kelly and during his 'Unnamed Show' podcast on Barstool Sports, Portnoy said he believed Hudson was running the show.
But Portnoy responded 'no' when he was asked on the podcast if it was 'clear that she was crazy.'

CBS News, in a statement of its own, denied Belichick's assertions that there had been an agreement to focus only on topics involving the coach's book.
'When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview,' the statement read. 'There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed.'
Portnoy at one point defended CBS, mentioning how the quote about Hudson being Belichick's 'muse' is 'in the book.'

‘Call Her Alex,' Plus 7 Things on TV this Week

Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, June 9-15. Details and times are subject to change. Day in the life of a podcaster. In October 2018, a new podcast hit the charts: 'Call Her Daddy,' hosted by Alex Cooper and Sofia Franklyn, and produced by Barstool Sports. Since then, Cooper and the podcast have weathered a very public co-host breakup and a battle for the podcast's I.P. — and it's gotten a $60 million Spotify deal. This and more will be examined in the new documentary series 'Call Her Alex.' The two-part series originally premiered at Tribeca Film Festival last week. Cameras also followed Cooper as she prepared for her podcast tour and reminisced on her childhood, which started her on her current trajectory. Streaming Tuesday on Hulu. A series of unfortunate events. On March 20, 2013, a flight was set to depart the Dominican Republic, headed to St. Tropez. On board was 700 kilograms of cocaine stored in 26 suitcases, four French nationals who claimed it wasn't theirs and they didn't know who it belonged to. The French documentary series 'Cocaine Air' tries to unravel the strange story and figure out how it got on the plane. Streaming Wednesday on Netflix. In June 2023, the world seemingly held it's breath when news that a submersible, called Titan and owned by OceanGate, imploded on its way down to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. The five people onboard, including OceanGate's founder and chief executive, Stockton Rush, died in the wreck, after a trip that lasted an hour and 33 minutes. The implosion has been attributed to a faulty design and inadequate testing. The new documentary feature 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' explores what went wrong. Streaming Wednesday on Netflix. Heather Rovet, a Toronto real estate broker, has a perfect relationship with her boyfriend, Jace — until she finds out that she is actually dating Jason Porter, a felon with a history of romantic schemes.

Tonys broadcast hit with sound complaints as viewers beg CBS to ‘turn on the mics'

Viewers tuning into the 78th annual Tony Awards have complained about sound issues affecting the broadcast. Live from Radio City Music Hall in New York City, the awards ceremony is being shown on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. While fans were impressed with the performances, they were disappointed by the sound while presenters, winners, and performers — like Sarah Snook and Jonathan Groff — were at the mic. 'Who's on the sound at the tonys right now TURN ON THE DAMN MICS,' one frustrated fan wrote on X. 'They need to fix these sound issues while it's still early,' someone else said, while another agreed: 'Terrible sound.' 'The sound problems are really putting a hamper on the show performances. I could barely hear what Jonathan Groff was singing sometimes,' another shared. 'Why cant the #Tonys ever get the sound mix right on the Broadcast? The shows on Broadway do this 8 shows a week, its insane that @CBS can't ever get this right for one night a year,' someone else said. 'The sound mixing on the Tonys is horrendous,' another complained. The sound problems are really putting a hamper on the show performances. I could barely hear what Jonathan Groff was singing sometimes.#TonyAwards #tonys — Kristin (@itskristind) June 9, 2025 Other fans begged for a fix before the highly anticipated Hamilton reunion performance. 'The sound issues are crazy to me. Really messing up Nicole's big moment and everyone's big moment. Get it together before Hamilton,' one viewer wrote. The original cast is reuniting to celebrate the hit musical's tenth anniversary on Broadway. Hamilton received a record-breaking 16 Tony nominations in 2016 and ultimately won 11 awards, including Best Musical. Also performing during the main broadcast were the companies of nominated musicals Death Becomes Her, Maybe Happy Ending, Buena Vista Social Club, Floyd Collins, Gypsy, Maybe Happy Ending, Operation Mincemeat: A New Musical, Pirates! The Penzance Musical, Sunset Blvd., Just In Time, and Real Women Have Curves. The first part of this year's ceremony, The Tony Awards: Act One, began streaming promptly at 6:40 p.m. ET on Pluto TV. The national broadcast, hosted by Cynthia Erivo live from Radio City Music Hall, began at 8 p.m. ET on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. Succession star Snook took home the evening's first acting award for her expansive, one-woman take on The Picture of Dorian Gray. Paul Tazewell won for Death Becomes Her, marking the first time in 73 years that a costume designer has won an Oscar and a Tony in the same year. He won an Oscar earlier this year for Wicked: Part I. Kara Young also made history later in the evening when she became the second person to win back-to-back Tonys in the featured actress in a play category. She's already made history this year by earning her fourth consecutive acting nomination.
